Seminole Wrap

The new era of college football arrived last summer with open season for student-athletes to cash in on their name, image and likeness.

Recruiting has added a new (or maybe old depending on how pure you believe the sport has been in the past) aspect that requires programs to have boosters willing and able to win bidding wars to land the nation’s best players and compete at the highest level.

So do the Florida State Seminoles hav...

Are you feeling the football lull? Don’t worry, you're not alone in counting the 201 (yes, we did the math) days until the Florida State Seminoles are back on the field in a regular season game.

Until then, we can talk roster construction and season expectations.

This week, we got two headlines in both of those categories with a pretty quiet National Signing Day and the release of Florida State’s schedule for this fall.

Is th...

Thanks to a six-game winning streak earlier this month, the Florida State Seminoles basketball team found themselves at the top of the Atlantic Coast Conference. But after another blowout loss, are the Seminoles really contenders to claim conference crown and what do they need to do in the final weeks to make sure they’re dancing come March?

Host Brian Pellerin talks with Tomahawk Nation hoops-dedicated podcast host and basketba...

Just over two weeks since our last episode, the Seminole Wrap crew is back to update the Florida State Seminoles’ basketball season that is now in a much better spot.

So what do their NCAA Tournament prospects look like now that they’ve upset the top-ten Duke Blue Devils and climbed to the top of the ACC? Brian Pellerin and Jon Marchant talk about the hoops turnaround and why we should always have faith in Leonard Hamilton to...

The Florida State Seminoles entered the offseason with plenty of holes to fill on their roster, but Mike Norvell and his coaching staff have moved quickly in the six or so weeks since their final snap to plug those gaps especially through the transfer portal.

In the last month, the Noles have brought in seven transfers addressing some of their biggest needs (offensive line, wide receiver and linebacker) and have now struck anoth...

This week’s episode will center around the last 48 hours for the Florida State football program and what a time it was.

The sun rose on Early Signing Day with the news of offensive coordinator Kenny Dillingham leaving his post to take the same role at Oregon. Then rumors of the nation’s top recruit, Travis Hunter, potentially flipping his long-standing Florida State began swirling. Obviously, those turned out to be true as Hunte...

A busy college football offseason is running ahead as we close in on Early Signing Day, but the big headline coming at the administration levels of Florida State.

The Seminoles have finally landed their guy to lead the Athletic Department in Seminoles Boosters CEO Michael Alford. So what can we take from the hire and what happened with their pursuit of Louisville AD Vince Tyra?

Plus, the Miami Hurricanes have made the long-ru...

Florida and Florida State will renew their rivalry after a hiatus thanks to college football’s pandemic rules a year ago and this year the rivalry carries some huge implications for the future of both programs.

The Seminoles opened the year 0-4 and somehow find themselves one win away from bowl eligibility. They had their struggles but have found a rhythm to carry them to the brink of 6-6 and their first bowl berth since the Sun Bo...

Florida State Seminoles football got back on track in a huge way this past weekend, outlasting the Miami Hurricanes in a back-and-forth battle that broke UM’s win streak in the series and kept FSU’s hopes of bowling alive.

It was a legacy defining win for many individuals — namely head coach Mike Norvell, quarterback Jordan Travis and defensive end Jermaine Johnson. Each left their mark on the historic rivalry in their own way — Nor...

Coming off a loss to NC State — thanks in large part to the flu floating around, the Seminoles are on their heels heading into this rivalry week against Miami.

The Hurricanes have revived their season and potentially saved head coach Manny Diaz’s job with a three-game winning streak that now has them in a position to potentially win the Coastal. Brian Pellerin, Juan Montalvo, and Jon Marchant take a look at the quarterback responsib...

Florida State Seminoles football, winners of three straight games, hit a roadblock last week vs. Clemson in what could have easily been a win and giant step forward for the program.

While the effort vs. the Tigers is to be commended, the Seminoles still sit at three wins this season with just four games remaining, needing to go on a strong run at the end of the year for hope at achieving bowl eligibility. Up next is a home matchup v...

After their strongest showing since 2017, the Florida State Seminoles are riding the high of a three-game winning streak as they head to South Carolina to face the Clemson Tigers this Saturday.

But this isn’t the Clemson of recent years.

The Tigers are unranked, coming off a loss to Pitt and sitting on the outside looking in on the race to win the Atlantic Division. The biggest struggle has been the offense that has failed to sustain...

“I really believe this is a new team, and this is a team that’s investing the work in all areas. The way that they’re working on the field, off the field, in the weight room, in every aspect. They’re trying to push and improve in who they are, what they’re about and they do believe.

“They believe in what we’re doing, how we’re trying to do it because they know it’s hard. It’s challenging, there’s nothing that comes easy that’s ever ...

Can Florida State football build off the momentum of its first win of the season?

That’s the question now looming over FSU, as the Seminoles prep to take on the North Carolina Tar Heels as a massive underdog this upcoming Saturday.

“We needed to see a game-ending on the last play where we were able to find success. The thing, looking back at it, that I really appreciated is it took all three phases,” head coach Mike Norvell said on ...

Three games into what was supposed to be the beginning of the climb for Florida State football, the Seminoles seem to be finding new ways to actually dig themselves into a deeper hole.

The program is off to an 0-3 start for the first time since Bobby Bowden’s first year in Tallahassee. You may be able to soften the blow of the opening loss to Notre Dame in overtime, but there’s no sugarcoating a home loss to Jacksonville State and b...
